Courses

My courses are a fun and motivational way to energise your writing, get your inspiration flowing, brush up on your skills and connect with other writers. If you're new to creative writing, an experienced writer or somewhere in-between, I offer courses that will cater to your level in a supportive and warm atmosphere. â€‹Always small groups for personalised attention. All you need to bring is yourself and something to write on.

​

All courses include a break with a chance to get to know your fellow writers, and tea, coffee and biscuits to aid your creative process!

From Inspiration to Storytelling

6 Week Course

A welcoming, supportive space to collectively dive into the fundamentals of storytelling and creative writing. Together, we will unpick what makes great writing work as you develop your own craft, get inspired, and lean into your imagination and unique voice. This course will help you grow in confidence as a writer, (re)discover the joy of creating worlds with your words, and help you overcome ‘writers block’. We will explore how to get started, characterisation, plot development, story arcs, and how to create dialogue that jumps off the page. No prior experience necessary, this course is for those who want a gentle but fun introduction to writing or who are returning after a break and would value kick-starting their inspiration and motivation.

2 hour sessions, once per week for 6 weeks. 

Cost: €350

Refreshments provided.

From Storytelling to Story Craft

8 Week Course

In this course we will dive deeper into story techniques and explore what makes engaging and impactful writing. This is for those who are already confident with the basics but would like a supportive group to try new ideas and develop your skills. 

2 hour sessions, once per week for 8 weeks. 

Cost: €450

Refreshments provided!

Storytelling for Performance

7 Week Course

In this dynamic 7-week course you will write your own short story and learn how to perform it, including how to use your voice and body to support the storytelling, how to engage your audience, and how to remember the beginning, middle and end! No prior performance experience is necessary, just a willingness to jump in and try something new in a supportive and encouraging atmosphere. The course will end with a performance sharing to a small invited audience. I'll guide you through warm ups, group exercises and creative writing prompts, as well as giving tailored feedback. This is a great way to explore story creation, gain confidence in performing, and discover your unique voice!

2 hour sessions, once per week for 7 weeks. 

Cost: 420 (includes final performance sharing on week 7)
